at the rate of 336, $50 advertisements for
1887 (Or twelve mOnths).
These are but samples of the record
during the entire time. The comparison
of any day that could be selected would
show the same relative rate of increase.
In fact, almost any period of the year
would show to greater advantage. Feb
ruary is the dullest month in the year,
with the possible exception of August.
The most marked increase in the
GLOBES advertising has been in the
number of small wants '-the advertiS-
ing from the masses. In February, 1885,
it published only one column of such
advertisements. Now itpubliShes more
want advertisements than any other
paper in the NOrthwest-from 5 to &
columns on week days and from 10 to Is
columns on Sundays. 1t is well-known
and conceded fact that advertising of
this class is the surest test of a news

people for all advertisements of this

In another place there may have been

has a great cea: to do with the rapidly
growing advertising business. but the
one strong point thot influences them is
that the paper reaches the very class of
people whose trade they want-the
masses. 1t is recognized as a paper of
the people, and for the people, and this
accounts for its prestige and popularity.
The mercantile and professional man
can make money by inserting his adver-
tisement in the GLOBE, and con
SeQuently it has become the favorite
medium of the business public for talk
ing with their patrons. Its columns from
day to day have healthy and solid
look, and the steadily and rapidly grow
ing patronage is an ample evidence Of
the esteem in which, it is held. From
the very day that the present manage
ment assumed control there has been q
steady and substantial growth, and the
paper has retained its good fortune, and
also maintained the stamp of genuine,
ness with which its real history begun.
Under its new management and owner
ship the paper has been in every respect
changed-it is, in fact, all entirely new

and stands only upon the record it is
making. The following figures will

Chilian Beasts of Burden,

The Chilians and the Auricanian Indians have an animal which they call the chili- hueque, which is supposed to be the alpaca of Peru modified by the climate, and which they formerly used as a beast of burden, but the use of which has, in a great measure, been superseded by the introduction of mules. Of the several varieties of native sheep the largest and strongest is the llama. It was especially esteemed by the native inhab- itants as 0 beast of burden. Its load is about 100 pounds, although for short distances it is able to carry considerably more. Its height is from four to five feet, and the length of its body is about the same. It has no horns or hump and it's hoofs are cloven. Its body is shaped like that of the deer, with clean, slen- der legs, it's cloven hoofs ending in talons or claws, like those of a bird of prey. Under it's breast there is a hard substance about six inches long and three inches wide on which it sleeps or rests.-Consul Bakers Report

LITERARY NOTES,

 Mr. Chamberlain, it is said, will write a to England.
 Mrs. Frank Leslie intends to arrange for the publication of Spanish-American news paper in the City of Mexico
 In Robert Louis Stevensons 'sChapter on Dreams" in Scribner's for January he will tell of some of the phantoms which disturbed his boyhood and gave him the bent which has made him a writer of romances.
 Sister Frances M. Clare, better known as the Nun of Kenmare, has written and Bel ford, Clarke & Go. have published a little work with the title stAnti- Poverty and Pro- gress." It is in the nature of a reply to the land theories of Henry George, with special reference to the case of Dr. McGlynn.
 Swinburne, who contributes to the Athen- seum rather enigmatic little poem headed 'May, 1885," will have in the Nineteenth Century for January an article called "De- throning Tennyson." It sets forth that he has been intrusted with the papers of Q lady languishing in Hanwell asylum who devoted many years to proving that Tennyson's poems were written by Darwin.
 Mme Limouzin will shortly give to the world a volume in which she will put all her enemies in the pillory. The book will be called by it's ambitious authoress oLcs Chati. ments," unless the heirs of Victor Hugo choose to object to such a proclamation, and il will no doubt prove to future chroniclers and historians curious if not valuable 'shumar hocument' concerning men and manners uti der the third republic.

IT comes as coincident illustration of our article on Irish Penal Laws in another col umn-or rather of the existing result of 8 past religious persecution-the cable re- port of an affray between Catholics and Orangemen in the North of Ireland on St Stephens Day. Stones, bricks and revol- vers were freely used; the house of the par ish priest was almost wrecked and many persons were severely injured. This and like scenes'' of periodical occurrence come
 of the old British governmental system of setting party against party and creed against creed in Ireland in order to weaken or prevent the strength of united people.
 It is the Machiavelian policy: Divide ct Impera." The Orangemen of Ulster could hardly tell you who William Prince of Orange was, and yet with the Bible in one hand and rifle in the other they make onslaught on and murder their Catholic countrymen in the name of his 9sglorious pious and immortal memory''-and the Catholics, easily provoked, make onslaught and murder in turn. This is the legacy of the Penal Laws. This the policy by which England keeps Ireland in snbjection. What would be thought if the Protestants

COL. oGLEsBY,s MISTAKE.

A New Anecdote About Gen. Grant-A Surprised Subordinate. When Grant was appointed brigadier gen eral and ordered to Cairo to take command, Col Oglesby was acting ill that capacity. The latter had received notice of appoint ment from the war department and was ad- ylsed that the new general was on his way south.
 A day or so after, the colonel was seated | at his desk, busijy writing. In the room were several officers chatting together in subdued tones The chief of staff entered and announced the arrival of Grant The colonel nodded and went on writing; evil dently he had not understood the officer Presently man dressed in a plain soldiers blouse, slouch hat and nondescript trousers sauntered in, remarkable for nothing unless | it was for generous quantity of dust on his clothes, stubby, reddish beard, keen gray I eye and Q half consumed cigar clenched be- l tween his teeth.
 Taking a survey of the apartment and it's l occupants, he approached the colonel and said in quiet voice:
 "Will you let me have sheet of paper?n "Help yourself, my man," responded the colonel in a surprised and somewhat indig- nant tone, as his pen scratched on uninter- ruptedly, you'll find one over there on the l far side of the table,"
 The stranger seated himself uninvited and
 drawing the paper toward him wrote few
 words, knocked the ash from his cigar and
 coolly passed the scrawl over to the colonel.
 The surprise and indignation on Oglesbys
 face deepened, but finally gave way to aston
 lshment when he had mastered the words
 They proved to be an order relieving him
 from his present duty and ordering him to

 1 Col. Oglesby rose and walked around the
 insignificant figure across the table, never
 removing his eyes from it, and finally burst l forth with:

THIS we believe is the birth day of the great English Statesman William Ewart Gladstone. He is well on to the eighties, but in mind and body has all the vitality and etrength of 50. He has made Irish liberty the eliminating objective point of a great career; he has will-power that sustains him in pursuit of that great am- bition; and success once attained, we be- ieve he would be content; like the holy man of old to sing his Nunc Dimittus and depart from the activities of public life, since his eyes had beheld the salvation of an oppressed people. Gladstone's star is in the ascendant again. His progress through England on his way to Italy for physical training as it were, for the Parliamentary Session, opening in February, was continuing ovation all the way to Dover. Last year the parties who now hailed him as deliverer would have stigmatized and shouted him down as a demon of discord; but of such is the force and power of truth. The grand old man makes friends of the enemy every day and everywhere.

Seats for Regular Boarders.

Keeping seats for regular boarders in a ho- tel dining room is one of the unpleasant feat ures attached to @ head walters business. There are some persons who insist on sitting III one place and who won't sit anywhere else. To keep an eye on these particular boarders' seats and see that no outsider slips into them keeps a fellow hustling. If some one does happen to get into one of these coveted seats and the person who claims it as his own comes 1n and finds it occupied, there is sure to be row, aud the poor waiter always gets the worst of it. I don't blame the person for wanting to occupy the same seat, but there are times when it is impossible to keep it va cant. For instance, if party of six or seven come in they have to be seated at one table. At this same table there may be, perhaps, four or five regular boarders' seats, and when the latter come in have to put them somewhere else. Then they get mad, of course, kick to the proprietor about the ''shiftless and unsystematic manner" in which the dining room is run, and finally the waiter hears from the office.
 Sometimes, also, a person will slip into the room unnoticed by the waiter, and will dror into a seat nearest him. Once seated it is rather embarrassing to ask him to remove although you know that he is occupying the seat of some regular boarder who is liable tc drop in at any moment have known per- sons to come into dining room, and finding their seat occupied, go out again and not come back until it was vacant I also knew of a case in which the man left the hotel al which he was boarding because on two sue cessive occasions he had entered the dining room and found his seat occupied. Womer are more particular about their seats thar the men. They always want to sit where every one in the dining room can see them especially pretty women, or young womer that are well dressed. No, a head waiter. life is not happy one.-Head Waiter ir Globe-Democrat

Fisht for a Telegraph Pole.

The talk of new telegraph line between New York and San Francisco has aroused the old timers here to lively "reminiscences of the building of the first line across the plains One pole, 100 miles west of Laramie, was set up four times and each time hacked down by Indian tomahawks. Each time there was a bloody skirmish with the redskins for tenn porary possession of the stump. At last the pole was given to a young man who is now high up in the management of Western Union. He laid a mine in the hole, set up the new pole, trailed the fuse to an ambush of rocks close by and waited with two armed friends. Then band of eight Sioux came along and held war dance around the pole. When the mine was fired all but three were killed and those three carried off Mimic balls with them. The powder blew up the pole again, but it cleaned the hole out nicely for new one, which was thereafter let alone. This story was told with great eclat at Del monico's, and was the signal for more bottles and more stories-New York Sun.
